Further proof that those fucking Yankees up north don't know what the fuck they're doing

From Mister Mittens:

Despite Mittens recent stunningly superb performance in the preseason, it stood to reason that he was not in the immediate plans for anything that involved the Giants and playing time. Wrong, folks. Dead, dead wrong.

According to the Star-Ledger Giants blog, Woodson and backup Anthony Wright didn’t make the final cut, which means that … wait, what? David Carr is the only other quarterback on the roster after Eli Manning? Really? Wow, that’s a lot of faith in the Giants offensive line and Elisha’s ability to take a hit.
Now, I think David Carr might be a better QB than his time with the Texans might lead you to believe. But he's also much, much worse than his basic stats would tell you. I believe that calling him one of the worst QB's in the history of professional football would not be too far from the truth.

So why would the Giants decide that Carr would back up Manning? I was aware that Carr was going to be on the Giants' roster, but I thought only as the third option. But, checking the Giants depth chart now, Mittens is indeed right behind Manning. And they have no option after that.

And it's really not the Giants' offensive line that can do this. Really, it relies upon Buress' skills as a receiver. Just as Carr was always going to go to Johnson, he will now automatically go to Buress. And no offensive line can hold back a defense forever. Eventually, Carr will be pressured, and he will not be able to throw the ball off.

The bigger question, besides "What the hell are the Giants thinking?" is "Why does Carr have a job at all in the NFL?"
